Mavericks, Mail 7.0, iCloud account problem

Upgraded to Mavericks, now iCloud mail is off line. Problem with iCloud account. It looks like it cannot save the password.
Any ideas how to fix this??
If I send out an email, it will ask for my password and then work fine. If I close and reopen the problem reutrns.
I do not have this problem with my MBA. Upgrade went fine, all mail accounts work.
I found the answer!!
Mail = Pref= Accounts = Advance = Pull down menu - chnage auth: from password to Apple token.

I've been having this same problem. It seems to occure in both Mail app and Text Edit.
When I have a body of text, and I try to select a part of it, or click to set my cursor somewhere in it, the new text that I begin to type suddenly appears down the row somewhere else -- obviously where I had no intention of typing it.
Another issue that sprung up at the same time as this, was that Mail app will not automatically attach a signature file to my mail anymore. It always has to be manually selected from the pull-down in the new message window.
Both of these issus began immediately when I upgraded to Mavericks, and have even transferred over to a brand new computer when the user account was migrated over.

Setup Primary iCloud Account Problems

I'm getting a message saying "To use this Apple ID as your primary iCloud account, delete it from Mail, Contacts & Calendars and sign in again". I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I have to Apple ID:

You don't have to "setup" the account. Just sign on with your MMe account ID.

ICloud account problem on used iPhone

"this device is no longer eligible for creating a free icloud account" what that mean and how to resolve this problem

You need to go into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID to the obsolete user name. Don't worry about verifying it, you will only have that ID on there for a moment.
Then go back to your phone, and click on the Delete option at the bottom of the screen on Settings>iCloud. When it asks for a password, put in your current password. That should enable you to turn off Find My iPhone and delete the iCloud account.
Then go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to your current ID.
Go back to the phone and sign onto iCloud with your current ID and password.

ICloud account problems

I'm purchasing a new phone and I'd like to backup all of my photos and contacts with iCloud but I'm signed into an Apple ID I share with my family (I no longer use this account for billing information) and I don't want to share my information with them. I can't sign into a different Apple ID.

Back up to your computer using iTunes instead. Then restore that backup to your new phone to recover your data, as explained here: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device. If you can't do this and you want to migrate your phone to a separate iCloud account instead, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

How to fix icloud account problem

HI, I just bought a used (second hand) iPhone 4 recently. and now i have activated my apple id that i used in my previous iPhone 3gs in this iPhone. it's working for app-store well, but when i try to use it for icloud it gives me the error that
"The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone"
what i must do to sign in to icloud please help me. i have seen this problem is being talked about everywhere. but no one is willing to answer?
My IMEI : 012652000585137

Settings - iCloud and Sign out
Then Reset the phone Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then sign in and see if that works
Also - if the phone has a Find iPhone app still activated - you may not be able to disable it without the previous owner giving you the password or doing the wipe remotely

I have just changed my iCloud account and am now having serious problems with Calendar on my Macbook Pro. Any ideas?

I decided to start using iCloud etc but discovered that my Apple ID doesn't actually exist (I was literally told this over the phone my an Apple Support worker) which is weird, as my email address for this Apple ID still exists. This is the first time I'd had any problems of this sort as I'd never had to use my Apple ID before. So anyway, I signed out of iCloud (i.e. signed out of my non-existant account) and signed in with my other, working, iCloud account which I've had absolutely no problems with whatsoever. All well and good.
Before signing out of/deleting my old iCloud account I moved all my events in Calendar from "iCloud" to "On My Mac" so that I wouldn't lose the information when switching to my new account. No problems with this. However now that I am signed in on my new account, every time I open Calendar I receive the following two error messages:
"Couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again."
"The server responded with an error.
Access to account "iCloud" is not permitted.
The server responded:
"403"
to operation
CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation."
Note that with regards to the first one I am definitely connected to the internet. I have tried restarting my Macbook, have tried enabling/disabling Calendar in iCloud, nothing has worked. I always get these error messages. I have two options, "Try Again Now" or "Try Again Later", for the first message and "Try Again" or "OK" for the second. Pressing anything just results in the error messages just coming up again in a cyclic manner, after briefly trying to "Move calendars to server account". Sometimes a pop up also appears where it says "Upgrading calendars" with a progress bar but this freezes/never goes anywhere, and regardless of the outcome, I cannot access my information in Calendar. Note that behind these error messages etc I can see my events in Calendar but I cannot access the detailed information contained within them nor can I add any new information or essentially do anything in Calender. Sometimes Calendar crashes and I get a crash report.
Sorry for this dense block of information but I have no idea what's going on so I'm just trying to give a clear account of the problems I'm facing. I really hope someone will be able to help me with this and I thank you in advance.
Sam

Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

Apps and movies won't open under my old itunes msn id, but the newer iCloud id presents no problem. i've reset the phone a number of times. is there away to get all my previous purchases from my old account transfered to the newer iCloud account?

i now have three Apple Store accounts. The first was when I signed up for mobileMe ending in "me." The second ending in "msn" And now the third ending in,"icloud"
The first two seemed to be linked and i would get notifications to update even when i wasn't signed into that account. All the apps downloaded worked just fine on my Iphone4 whether they were downloaded using my iphone or whether they were downloaded from my macbook pro no matter which account they were downloaded from. Now since i started using icloud and after a number of restores my Apple id under "msn" downloads on the apps and my movies all purchased from itunes won't open up. All the other id's apps open up just fine. I've reinstalled itunes, deleted all the apps under the msn account and tried to redownload on both my iphone and my laptop but, no sucess.
I think the only way to get the apps that i've paid for previously is the see if itunes could move my previous purchases from one account, "msn", to my "icloud" account. has anyone else had a problem like this and how can I makethis happen?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account. I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email. I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem. Hat am I missing?

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
Any guidance? Thanks.

The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.
